I had watched some of the TV series based on these books first, so I was a little confused by one of the TV series regulars and who he is in this first book. Other than that, I can imagine the characters as cast in the show, and this first book is so much more than the show itself. I think I’m going to enjoy finishing those series by book. For new readers, be forewarned there are a lot of triggers in the content.
